constitutional       gain of function
in senescent cells, causing rapid decay of targets ATXN1 and SNUPN, and preventing premature senescence
tumoral     --over  
in breast cancer, both JMJD6 and HOTAIR RNAs increase tumor growth and associate with poor prognosis
constitutional     --over  
promoted the onset of ischemic infarct induced by hypoxia
constitutional     --low  
in the spermatozoa of patients with asthenozoospermia and oligoasthenozoospermia, which resulted in down-regulation of NFE2L2 expression
